Od. 25 2aw tf 1 l■ 5 . NEW-YORK, May 5. ( It w said Ihe provinces of Holland are j delivered from the " shackles of ilavery," j by the French. This is true they have t rid thcmlelves of the Prince of Orange j and his party —but it is believed that they ] «vill wear other (hackles, winch fcv and ( by will be very troublesome. VVe are ve- , ry mut'h mistaken if they have got rid oi . all their matters. 1 That the Dutch ihould be a free and in- ( dependent nation, is a very desirable event: and we rejoice sincerely that they have cast off the yuke which fat heavy on ' their necks. As the power and claims of 1 the Stadtholder were considered by the ' Dutch themselves as opprefiive and un founded, it was certainly right to expel .. him and choose their own mode of govern- ' ing themselves. All this is well; but whatever fuperficial obl'ervers may f«p pofe, this is not the whole of the change, lnftead of ridding themselves of ill tyran- j ny, thl Dutch have only changed M.fters. ; The French, while they permit the people , of Holland to model their government by | their own rcprefentatives, at least in ap- ] pearance, will in reality direct all their po- , litical transactions. Their new allies, with , their ufusl address, will l'weeten the sub jection of the Dutch, with flattery, civi- ( lity, feftivals and fangs ; but the Dutch, ( after dancing round liberty poles a ftiert time, and singing Ca ira with their allies, will find tliey arc not an independent na tion. Many people seem not to understand the real nature of the revolution in Hol land. The Dutch luve expelled an offi cer of their government, whose usurpations they could not bear patiently: and their new Legislative authority will doubtless j amend the laws of the country and remove many oppressions. But human nature does not authorize us to suppose that their deliverers will leave them entirely inde pendent. Deplorable is the Hate of that nation, which is compell d or which sub mits to the alternative of calling in the aid of a foreign power to alter or reform their government or to refill oppreflion. Many nations have resorted to this alternative; and generally have had cause to lament it. The Greek states had recouri'e to the Romans —those brave and generous repub licans —for protection. The Komans did protect them —but once engaged in the af fairs of Greece —hav.ng once gained a footing in that country, they never left it, till by force and intrigue, they hid subject ed the whole to their power. The Komans, in their decline, too cor rupt to defend themselves, put their coun try under t Vic' protect ion of foreign merce naries, who affiled in conquering their employers. The Saxons played the fame game with the Britons, when invaded by the Pitfs and Scots. But not to mention examples of barba- \ rous ages, as we are pleased to flile them, [though in martial and pGliticil affairs, [ ancieJUL.agea J»*re nevermore ba-fUa-rous 1 than the modern] let lis come nearer home. ' •What is the whole system of American ' policy with respect to the Indian tribes ? I Is it not to assist one tribe to vanquifti ano- \ ther, that we may become mailers of , b,tb? _ ] The French assisted us in the late war, to throw off the Englilb yoke ; and lately 1 sent a minifttr to make demands upon our ' gratitude, and establish an influence in 1 this country, which would have placed it i wholly under the direction of the French , government. And however we may boast j of our executive, in counteracting the infi duous attempt, it has been our di/lance, more than ourJirmnefs, which has averted ' the snares prepared for us. And even n6w ! there is a powerful party in this country, ; more under the influence of the French, < than the American government. Were j the powers of government in the hands of this party, we lhould be little more than a province of France. , But fay ourenthufiaftic patriots, nj con- i clufions drawn from former examples can be applicable to the prefcnt enlightened ' period of the world. Men ,are growing 1 wiser and better ! improving in wisdom and policy, and liberality ! What prop's have we of this ? Let the assertions be supported by one substantial fail, and tlit question will be acknow ledged to be decided. Nations are com posed of individuals, who have the fame predominant pafiions, as men have had for 3000 years past. Government, fafhi on, local circumflances give these passions various directions, and appearances some what different; but the passions are radi cally the fame. The love of money, the love of fame, and the love of power, the great predominating passions of the hu man heart, are as strong and as active in a Frenchman or an Englishman, as they were in a Greek or a Roman ! and there is noreafon t®-believe, that these passions are more chaltized and difeiplined by prin ciple in the moderns, than in the ancients. Under similar circumstances, these passions every where break forth in violations of law, of justice and good order, now as formerly. Nay more, we fee the passions as strong, as turbr.lent and licentious in republicans, as in nobles or monarchs. Under the Ro man commonwealth, the tribuneftiip was the. stage for popular demagogues to act 011 —Ambitious men who wanted to go vern, courted the people to make them tribunes—in this office they exercised POWER, which was the object of their ambitfon—They kep- in favor with the people by attacking the Senate, and in this way made themselves majfers and tyrants ; this was all the moll of them wanted— This is the way in which popular dema gogues now mount into eminence, by de claiming against men in the higher offices. The Roman Senate, a body of men as rtfpectable for talents and dignity of mind, as tier exiftod, ftodd like a Macedonia Ph«lanx, for ctiuurics, refilling the aliau :s of the tribunes, and thus preferred the t ( government of Rome from Revolutions. Had It been otherwise, and no such body to restrain the ambition of the popular de. magogues, Cafari and Robefpierres would have sprung up ill thick fucceflion fac tion would" have divided the common wealth, and the age of Scyllaand Marius, and the reign of Csefar, would probacy have taken place as early as the fourth | century, infleadof the seventh or eighth. 1 The French have 110 Senate, and the ; nation have fuffered fevertly by republican . intrigue. Cromwell found it very conve- ; nient to get rid of a branch of the L.egii lature which he could not controul; and the great object of certain mock-patriots 'in America, is to abolilh the Senate of the j United States, that they may have full j scope sos their ambition. But fay our enthusiasts, the plan of a re- . prefentative government is a novelty, and j an improvement which will preclude the evils ot the ancient democracies. Heaven j grant the idea may be jull —it is per haps the last resort cf rept>blicanifm. It ' is unquestionably a most fortunate disco very, and a most excellent expedient. But what confirms all that hath been said of the slate of the human heart and tie little profpqct of ever feeing it amend ed, is, that the very men who admit this princip'.* of representation, as the firft ex cellence of government, are the very men to destroy all its advantages. The Demo crats, or most zealous partizans of republi can principles, while they admit represen tation to be a natural and excellent reme dy for the turbulence and inilability ot de mocracy, are ft riving to prevent this effect by creating an external popular influence in private associations. If wisdom then has improved on the democracy of theaa cients; faction has also refined on the means of defeating the end of those im provements. And this is a strong proof that men are neither better now than for merly, nor more qualified to institute and preserve free governments. Even admit that men are improved in point of talents and under' Handing, which is very question able, the experience of every day proves, thai in point of *virtut men are not impro ved. Their hearts are the sam felfilh passions as strong, and their views as wicked, as they were two thouland years ago. For the Gjzrttk of the Unitxd States• / Mr. Fenno, I reads in your paper nfTuefday, lad that my brother meta-mate Jack Oak am has been palavering about what hap pened at Oellers's :—Now Jack is not the tightthing Ithought him to be, or he would not never have leaked so much {linking bilge water on a poor Snip. who, between you 1, was the most cle verest fellow of 'em all, in any boddering kind of argufication ; for his cheek jaw ran foul of, he foundered him, and never spared a ropes end to keep liimfromDavy'slocker. So Jack should not be a overhauling an honelt gemman. whose calling (may be, as a body may fay,) smells a little too much of the Guf to of Goose and Cabbage :—Speaking of Cabbage, now 1 remembers when at fchooljn learning latin hieroglilics, we always said to a Taylor ' Satiate caule quem semper cupilli' but we never gave him any hard knocks. Now Mr. Printer why,as Jack wasun der way, dident he hoiftout a thingum bob or two about the journeyman Snub the Devil's printer, (but not from youi office) and the otherlanthernjaw'd look ing gemman whose nose was for all the work Jhaped like a Sotvgdjcr's horn ; and then, that there littlefquatty, who, every now and anon, fired off his Bomb (hells, in all directions that we could [ haidly hear what the spokesman said at I the top of the mess—that Jack knows the little corporal as we used to call him, who fat between us, tipp'd me the wink and said as how,that it put himininind of his heingaSiuMif hunting, which made \ Jack and 1 laugh so loud that we was | called to order,in oiderto hearfomething , about an Arijlncrat, which mess-mate r thought, was (kewing at him, — So he got up, and hail'd the Qemman who ' spoke lalt, and told him as how he was no Na/ly-cat, nor any that there fort of ' a thing, that his christian name was p Oaknm, and cautioned him to take care j how heemptied his ftink-potts,—bekafe —avast fays he, —I be no mortal man's , enemy :—s Frenchman who w, 9 ranged > in the fame tier, not underltanding what Jack said, got up and told the Compa- I ny ' dat'he vas a very good fans-Culo'.te . and had swore dat he vas to all tyrants 1 a mortal enemy'—this explanation put 1 all to rights, and the great gun was fired i" off, which little squatty echoed with his Artillery. Now Mr. Printer I must belay my fubjett and heave to, —may be, these anecdotes may look better in black and white. Tell Jack who is gone a coall s ing voyage how I have touched them off. f ACK SWIPES. I'lCffi the JJi-'LF ST 1 V. ~ i.. i " « Revelation is ntcejffatil} limine! lotbe communication.

Call it reve | lation, or hearlay, or v. hat we will, if the | proof be fufficient, assent is the natural consequence. Were we to admit only those things that happen in the world, to which our own eyes and ears have been witness, | humait knowledge would be limited with ! in a narrow span and hillory unfold its in j ItrudVive page 111 vain. VVe would then ilifcard nine hundred and ninety nine parts j out of a thousand, of the things i n j which all mankind from the creation have j beenagreed. The son might qutllion whe- I ther he ever had a father, provided the j child had not com» into the world before ! the parent went out of it, and confequent | ly never had the evidence of his own i'eii les to the fail. * Limited by such unmeaning trammels in our feareh of truth, an oran outang would bt nearly on A level wi'h a human being. The thousand ccnvidlions refpe-c.- nig things neither seen nor heard by our felvts, which happen every nour, in all the affairs of bulinefs, and in the molt common occurrences of life, are refutati ons drawn from the natural operations of the human mind. They are arguments' imprefl'ed by the hand of Codhimfell oa the spirit of man. If we w'e will not credit any revelation, merely beraufe the miracle declaratory of it has not been performed in our presence* we deny the power of the Deity to give any fnpernatur.il testimony of his will that should deserve ere .it among men ; unleli he were pieafed to perform a (lifting mira cle for every child that is born, or for ' mankind at large, aiTembled in one spot fr"m all the quarters of the G.obe. The latter cafe isimpollibls ; in The former ore a miracle wi uiu be fteceii'ary ior every mo ment of time fronf the ail enlion of our Saviour, to the present hour ; and in eve ry other moment from this, through the countless ages to come. .Calculating that a foul is born eveiy moment in the circle of a day, and that a miracle is required for its conviction of the truth of any reli gion; the laws of nature mull be fut'pend ed near nine thousand times, in the twen ty four hours, and thirty millions of times in a single year I .So inadsquate is lurnan khowldge to the government of an univerle ; so dif ferently would human reaforS ail from di vine power ; and to such extravagancies will we run ourselves, as often as we pre lum e to diredt the Almighty hand. The absurdity may be rendered lli'l more evidcirtv- Tuppole'lF7:ail pkafed God, on the appearance of the Messiah to confirm his million by a perpetual mi racle, visible to every region of the earth ; and that it was to commence at, and con tinue from, the birth of Ckfift till the general dili'olution cf nature. Mad th s miracle been the addition .of a second son or moon to our fyftemy it could riot at this day, according to the modern doih'ine of infidelity carry the flightcjt evidence to the miind»» It would only be a miracle to the exilling generation among whom it was performed ; while thus it qif>tjM mi-re ly be, what has been termed hearsay ; V d as such, mull by a parity of leafonitig fe scouted with contempt. After the original revelation, exhibi ted in the creation itfelf, the new doctrine is—that Almighty Power, cannot by any means, attelt his will to a benighted world, and that no revelation could be proved by the moll lttipen'dous miracle that imagination in its boideft flight ev r conceived ; while the attempt requires the De ty to break through that beautifnl fim plicitv which rons through all his works, and is as visible in the formation of a flower, as of a world. And all this — for what purpose ! To accomodate the ways of infinite perfection to the folly of man ; though the wHeft philosopher, lo far from comprehending the gene; al plan of Providence, knows not by the boa lied light of Nature, why he was born, whether !e is to live aftef the present spark seems e>;- tinfl, or is to p« rilh for ever. When v e fee erring mortals drawing lines for the conduct of their Creator, and pretending to limit his powers, we have to lament that teafon, though so prime a gift, begins* to verge upon a curse. To use language iViitable to the meanefi of the idea, our ingenious infidel saves our maker the trouble of any extraordinat v declaration cf his will; for in the plainelt terms he tells him, he would not be lieve him, if he made it. A miracle, he fays, is" aftiow"and" implies a lame ness or weakness in the dodlrine that is preached " inllead of being evidence of the truth of any religion, it ought to be confidefed as fabulous," and " it is with prophecy as with miracle —it rould not answer the purpose even if it wire real." Of course God wculd be loling tune in performing them. It is hard to determine whether the al>- furdity, or impiety, of this declaration, be greatefl. Were it even not r.c.nfenfe ift its own natuie, the hiflory of that very religion that is attacked, exposes the errrr. Christianity, Handing besides its intern'j evidence, on the evidence of prophecy and miracle—from the preaching of aKw ' iiterat<*m?n, fpre&i over a i;reat port'"" o the habitable globe.
